Here’s a frustration. I’m using the default, 2025 theme. I can’t use a HivePress theme because I have other functionality on the site, its not just a directory. But everything should work with the default theme, it is the default theme.
I’m also happy to pay a developer for help. But I’ve contacted all of your listed “partners” on fivrr or upwork, and none of them know how to code templates or why this is happening on the header. They only know how to use Elementor, which I would argue, is not “development”. (I don’t want to introduce that level of bloat, I use Gutenberg and FSE).
I’ve been working in WordPress for almost 20 years, and have consulted on/worked on some of the most popular plugins, and it feels pretty safe to say that ALL plugins should work with the default theme, and there needs to be some path to reconcile bugs, whether that’s through paying someone at your company or actually vetted developers you refer people to. If your plugin only works with your themes, you didn’t develop a plugin for WordPress. You’re TablePress.
HivePress is a wildly powerful plugin that I’d like to be able to get use of, and can benefit everyone, but these are two very reasonable points.
